I can't bring myself to care about a console eroge (or, from what HardRock suggest, a fanservice filled FF clone) when Higurashi has been localized and Koihime Musou is coming out over here in February.

At first I was really afraid to even watch this trailer, but I'm glad I did. That was the stupidest trailer I've seen in awhile, but why did I have to be 18 to view it? Everything was totally censored. (Even the towel! XD) Why censor random clevage? It didn't even show anything in the first place!

Props go to the people who made the trailer just for the funny music and stupid humor. (I do have a PS3 so...)

It is funny that it is only marketed like this to western audiences. It is actually a Final Fantasy Tactics style game. I played the demo a while back when it was on the Japanese PSN. The game was pretty fun if you like FFT and has some of its own little tricks. Go watch the actual gameplay trailer. Also the sex in this makes new allies if you spawn a kid. It is an interesting concept, and by no means an eroge. Basically if you think this is eroge, then you are calling Dragon Age an eroge.

I always thought it was weird when gameplay aspects are put in porn games. It's like, "hey man I just need something to wank to, I don't want to have to find 10 knoll eyes for you before you take your cloths off".

Hey, at least it means there is no chance for hetai-artists or fan-fic writers to then ruin anything as is normally canon for JRPGs. I can just imagine the publisher issuing a middle finger and saying "Hah! Beat you to it!"

Milkman Dan:Why is this called a porn game? It's rated 15 and up in Japan. It'll have about as much porn as Devil May Cry and Soul Calibur.

It's not a porn game, or even anything remotely resembling eroge. It's a tactical role-playing game in which you can influence which of the various female party members the leading man will get with. Then the next generation inherit some of the male & female's fighting characteristics (hence the localized European title, Agarest: Generations of War). Quite a clever gimmick if you ask me.

This trailer is a piss take which is obviously intended to spread the word about an ultra niche game which would otherwise sell about 10 copies. After less than 48 hours, the trailer has more than 200,000 views, so I think it's pretty clear that they've succeeded in their goal. The reason a towel and other non-offensive items are pixellated is because there's no actual nudity in the game.

It came out in Europe in October and I bought it, firstly because I buy most TRPGs and secondly because it's made by one of my favourite developers (Idea Factory). It did fairly well in Europe, charting at #33, which is virtually unheard of for TRPGs over here. It's a decent game, and anyone into deep & complex TRPGs (i.e. not Final Fantasy Tactics) would probably like it.

So yeah, fairly lazy reporting which a simple Google or Wikipedia search could have cleared up.

To be a porn game, you would have to include NUDITY in in your game. That game didn't have shit. And the fact that it will be released in the US confirms it. This trailer is purely a publicity stunt. And it worked.
